word processor for XP

I am a new user of XP Home Edition. I'm planning on
taking college courses over the internet, however I'm not
sure if I have the software I will need. The course
instructor tells me that WordPad included in XP will
suffice but that the bottom line is: I'll need to be able
to store files readable by Microsoft Word(.doc or .rtf).
Will Word Pad store files this way? If so will it do so
automatically or will I need to learn how to store them
this way? As I said I'm a new user and fairly computer
illiterate. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

It will. Save them as RTF in the Save As box.
